Despite the fact that both the AM and FM versions of HD radio are a
good example of out-of -control technology that nobody really wants,
the FCC has mandated that all broadcasting will be digital.
Therefore, I see no turning back regardless of what the consumer does
or doesn't want or understand. The only way out of this that I see is
that some entity with deep pockets poses a legal challenge to the FCC
mandate.

This really isn't a consumer issue but rather a big business/
government deal and will take legal action to reverse and I'm not sure
it can be. Consumers don't count, surveys don't count and the number
of radios sold doesn't mean anything. This is the sad truth.

Since the FCC violated its own rules on radio interference and since
it's in bed with iBiquity and no other systems were even considered it
will be a very difficult challenge. Remember all this when it comes
time to vote and consider that we are no longer represented by our
elected officials but, rather, we are being controlled by them.

The FCC's decision of letting the market decide was just their way of
begining a full scale deployment. It's an incremental deployment. The
next step will be increasing the power levels for the transmitted
digital component and ibiquity is lobbying heavily for that now.
Watch and see.

Are you obsessive-compulsive - here we go again! It is up to consumers
to determine the fate of HD Radio - period:
